How to combat the short stack ninjas?

[goochpkt2002]

I've made the following adjustments and had mild success:

1) against average to deep stacks i would bet out with flopped monsters hoping to get raised, but against short stacks i tend to check to them hoping that they commit themselves.

2) the kind of hands that stack shorties are tptk type of hands vs. tp medium kicker. the type of hands that usually stack deep stacks are flopped sets vs. overpairs and big draws that come in. so, against all shorties, i play less tricky hole cards.

3) shorties often seem to have an "all-in or fold" mentality. this helps to achieve #1 above, but being check raised all in hurts the c-betting.
